In this paper, we propose an efficient and accurate scheme for the integration of multiple
stereo-based depth measurements. For each provided depth map a confidence-based …

Remote sensing methods, such as LiDAR and image-based photogrammetry, are
established approaches for capturing the physical world. Professional and low-cost …

Autonomous Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) is an important topic in many
engineering fields. Since stop-and-go systems are typically slow and full-kinematic systems …

During the last decade the increased use of laser range-scanners for sampling the
environment has led to gigantic point cloud data sets. Due to the size of such data sets, tasks …

Computing shading such as ambient occlusion (AO), subsurface scattering (SSS) or indirect
light (GI) in screen space has recently received a lot of attention. While being efficient to …

NURBS (Non-uniform rational B-splines) surfaces are one of the most useful primitives
employed for high quality modeling in CAD/CAM tools and graphics software. Since direct …

RGB-D (Kinect-style) cameras are novel low-cost sensing systems that capture RGB images
along with per-pixel depth information. In this paper we investigate the use of such cameras …

Conventional topographic databases, obtained by capture on aerial or spatial images
provide a simplified 3D modeling of our urban environment, answering the needs of …

We present a system that is able to autonomously build a 3D model of a robot's hand, along
with a kinematic model of the robot's arm, beginning with very little information. The system …

Abstract The Communist Party of China proposed the concept of “speeding up the industrial
transformation and changing economic development mode” in its 17 th Congress. Against …
